Overview

You've seen the swimming pigs all over your feed — now it's your turn, and a full island day comes with them.
From Nassau, head out to meet the Bahamas' most famous locals: the world-famous swimming pigs. Wade into the warm shallows, hold out a snack, and watch them paddle straight over — snouts up, unbothered by your camera. These aren't penned pigs — they roam free in their own turquoise water.
Then it's over to private Pearl Island for the full beach escape. Two white-sand beaches (one social, one quiet), plus kayaks, paddleboards, water mats all included. Climb the island's iconic lighthouse for sweeping views across Nassau Harbour, rinse off under a fresh-water shower, and settle onto a shaded deck or beach chair. A traditional Bahamian lunch is cooked fresh on the island.
No resort wristbands, no day-pass queues — just the pigs and a private island for the day. Roundtrip ferry from Nassau and lunch are included; just bring a swimsuit and a camera.

Frequently Asked Questions

(8)

Q: Will I get seasick on Nassau: Bahamas Swimming Pigs & Pearl Island Beach with Lunch?

A: If you have any doubts about becoming seasick on the water, we recommend taking a Dramamine® Motion Sickness Relief tablet the night before your trip. Some people recommend taking it the night before your cruise and then again that morning so you will not feel so drowsy. Read more Feb 2023
